Note to Archie:

AP:

Some time ago, I asked you to consider the number 239.  Is this number 
interesting to you?

I could write this as 119 + 120, which are the two legs of the right 
triangle, 119, 120, 169.

This is a right triangle, which you said was not very interesting.

Actually, it is the ONLY right triangle where the two legs differ by 
one and the hypotenuse is a perfect square.  In other words 119^2 + 
120^2 = 169^2 = 13^4

Can you find another similar case?

By the way, 239 / 169 is a VERY good approximation to sqrt(2) for 
fairly obvious reasons.

Cheers!

PS:  Why do you call those of us who disagree with you "Racist"?

Race has nothing to do with it.
